Arizona Arena Guitar Case Is As Sexy As Your Instrument

January 19, 2011

Great guitars deserve equally well-built cases. If you've got the whole stylish Western outlaw style going for you, then the Arizona Arena guitar case seems like the perfect fit.

Made by Whipping Post Leather, the dapper resting home for your instrument looks more like a classy leather jacket than a carrying case. And that's a good thing. You're way past that age of lame canvas cases with campy stickers, after all -- you deserve something that perfectly complements your worldly-wise ways.

The Arizona Arena is made from 100% full grain leather, with hand-sewn marine-grade threading to ensure durability through years spent on the road. It's lined with inch-thick high density foam padding, ensuring adequate protection for your six-string of choice. Or machine gun, if you're into El Mariachi and all that beautiful violence.

Outside the case sits a slew of handy pockets boasting strap closures with stainless steel hardware. You can carry it via the attached handle or a detachable strap that can be configured for either backpack or shoulder use.

If you're playing some dilapidated piece of crap you got at a yard sale for 50 bucks, the Arizona Arena guitar case probably isn't for you. At $825, that will make it many times more expensive than the instrument you're protecting and that's just wrong. Not that it makes the case any less awesome, though, so don't let that reason stop you.

My guitar is a part of my soul, and I leave no stone unturned in ensuring the safety of my loved one. I have been using a top class canvas case for my guitar for some years now, and now that there is this funky and super cool Arizona Guitar case up for sale, I might just have to start skipping the weekend vacations to save enough for this rather exorbitantly priced leather case. But style comes at a price, and I am ready to pay. $800 is a large sum of money, but well worth the sense of pride with the guitar.

I hate products that demand lots of money without giving any returns. My initial impression of the Aizona Arena Guitar Case was that of another product in the above mentioned league. That has been wiped off, at least to some extent, considering that guitar owners would not think twice before chopping off a part of their monthly returns for a dash of pride and respect for their sacred six stringers. Plus, it is not mere style, there is utility as well. Plus, I haven’t seen many guitars housed in a swanky leather jacket. Really must be very inviting for musicians to spend the extra bit for this cool guitar case.

100% full grain leather complemented by marine grade sewing to ensure ruggedness, there is some serious substance to this guitar case. A handful of pockets on the outside gives additional liberty of utility to the owners of the Arizona Arena guitar case. Canvas cases are reliable enough, but if there is a fabulous leather alternative available, that too without any compromise on the safety front. The inch wide foam shall handle the jerks and bumps of long journeys. However, there is one big ‘BUT’ that is surely going to come into the way of those headed to the stores. The price, in my estimate, is a bit too much.

Trendy guitar cases seem to be the talk of the town, and this classy guitar case would surely be a hot topic of discussion amongst the well endowed music buffs and guitar players. Having a leather clad guitar hanging by your side is one way to make a statement before the performance actually takes off. Whipping Post Leather would be hoping to make an impact on the minds of guitarists with their Arizona Arena guitar case.
